Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation programs possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study data and so on are actually frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities in an effort to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol treatment centers provide payment assistance to help clients who might not have enough funds to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in fact a long-term center will probably be the more ideal selection. To see what payment assistance may be available, for instance a sliding fee scale, talk with the program for details.
